fishinwrench Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I have heard this every year for the last several years, but when it comes time to renew I can always still get the waterproof version from the quick shop down the road.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 30, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted October 30, 2015 Right - it's been a couple of years since they sent that letter - and one from MDC - but they backed off because they didn't think the public was ready. I guess they think we are. May be it has something to do with the new app.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted October 30, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted October 30, 2015 I posted on your post - Facebook. My sister talked to MDC and verified - the license machine program is ending in February. She asked the company if there was any way we could keep the machines and continue selling licenses and they said no! We have to mail them in by March 1.

podum Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I've bought my MO fishing license online the last 3 years. I like the fact that I can print multiple copies and stick them in all of my tackle boxes, fly vests, fly boxes, etc.. Never have to worry about not having a copy around.

fishinwrench Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 So they can't afford the yellow plastic sheets anymore ? For Christ sake, everything I hear about MDC ticks me off anymore. I love it that they buy property and turn it into places to hunt and fish, but everything else they do elicits a snide remark from me, and then Chief gets all cranky. An option to purchase online and roll your own permit is fine, but making it a requirement is just......cheap and lacks class. So you MUST have a computer/internet connection/printer to be a member of society now ? That kinda sucks, I liked it better when all that was an option. jfrith 1

This is what I do no problems here either.

That kinda sucks, I liked it better when all that was an option. Not that it's all that much trouble, but this is what it boils down to. And it would be very careless if it did. I personally prefer getting the license printed out at a store. It feels more official, and like less of a hassle when someone else does it. It's stupid that they're basically telling you, you have to have a computer or smart phone first, before you can get yourself a $12 fishing license. Plus printing out stuff yourself, just seems more prone to forgery. The person can find or make some template and just change a few things, and bam, there they go (at least it seems that way to me). I've never had any of the few agents I've met, really check/compare my license in depth to some database of theirs, that could tell them whether I'm giving them a forgery or not. At least with their printers it makes it a little more difficult to find all materials to exactly replicate it. Whereas just a piece of regular printer paper takes no effort to start the forging process. I would prefer they would still only be doing the printout ones, as long as someone doesn't have to be burdened to drive all over town to get one. I think that's really the only potentially big downside with the printout ones. You need to have a car or some means of transportation to get someplace where you can buy the license. But it would prevent people from not intentionally getting one, and then buying one on their smart phone once they see the agent checking others' licenses on down the shore. tho1mas 1
